The battleground electoral vote in Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District may have been decided this week through private polls, favoring Vice President Kamala Harris. The district is competitive, awarding an elector to the candidate who wins the most votes. Despite efforts from former President Donald Trump to change the law, GOP state Sen. Mike McDonnell decided not to back the plan, influenced by Democratic lobbying efforts. Democrats outspent Republicans in ads in the district and presented McDonnell with data from a private poll showing Harris leading Trump by 9 points. While this district may not be the tipping point in the election, it could indicate the overall outcome. Despite Democrats feeling confident, they are still focused on campaigning and getting out the vote. Trump and his running mate have not actively campaigned in the district, giving Democrats an advantage. Overall, this week’s developments could secure the first electoral vote for Harris, but both parties are aware that anything could change in the volatile political landscape.
